delight thyself

you know that feeling? the one where you should have been paying attention but you weren't so you might have missed something important. i feel like that all the time. God has been good and He is good all the time. i have been so blessed to grow up in church. even if i don't decide to be a missionary to africa, church has taught me how to be a pure and true young lady. i have learned to have class. i have learned to have dignity. and i have learned to stand up for what i believe in. i've learned to speak the truth, even if my voice comes out shaky. the truth is the most important thing. if you aren't honest, we aren't friends. that does not mean;however, that you go around being brutally honest with people.... i learned all of these things but the important part is what i've missed. i've learned it is good to be this woman but i missed the part where they tell me how... it isn't as easy as it sounds to be a virtuous woman. in proverbs 31 it says," who can find a virtuous woman? for her price is far above rubies." that in itself says how hard it is to be virtuous. rubies are rare and precious. as is the virtuous woman. i want to be that perfect girl and i'm going to work very hard on that. everyone must work at their walk with God constantly, but isn't it a much more rewarding life? in psalms, it says," delight thyself in the Lord, and He will give you the desires of your heart"... pretty simple right? do what God wants, and He'll give you what you always wanted. it sounds so simple so why is it so difficult? i decided i need to walk closer with God. i will delight myself in Him so he can bless my life. He wouldn't give your heart desires that He had no intention of fulfilling, right? i challenge every lady to read proverbs 31. it will be such a challenge to you to be more holy. and in the end, if you want a good guy, he's gonna want a good girl.
